Directions
For the Crust
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees for the crust.
Bake until edges are set and golden, about 15 minutes. Continue baking until bottom is dry and golden, about 15 minutes more. Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees
For the Filling
Whisk together eggs in a mixing bowl. Add brown sugar, molasses, maple syrup and salt. Stir in butter, extract and zest until thoroughly blended.
Add chopped pecans and stir to combine.
Pour filling into the tart shell and neatly arrange pecan halves in angled rows over filling and transfer to the oven.
Bake for about 45 minutes until the pastry is lightly browned and filling is set.
Let cool on the rack before cutting and serving. Serve with Karin’s favorite Vanilla Bean Crème Fraiche.
